Sign Me Up! Working with Deaf Students and Sign Language Interpreters in the Classroom

1:30 - 4:30 PM

Have you ever wondered what is the best way to engage with Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and/or signing individuals in your classroom?

In this session, participants will learn social and cultural norms of the Deaf community to minimize barriers with students who use sign language and/or sign language interpreters to offer the best chances for student success.

Some best practices, communication techniques, and basic signs will be shared in order to start the dialogue bridging the two languages and cultures. Guided practice and take-away resources will be provided.
